+283: Thread safety: libc functions

+284: Thread safety: special variables
+  There are lots of special variables in SBCL, and I feel sure that at
+  least some of them are indicative of potentially thread-unsafe 
+  parts of the system.  See doc/internals/notes/threading-specials
+
+285: PPC randomness

+
+  (the type error doesn't seem to be terribly deterministic in when it
+  occurs.  Bigger numbers seem better able to trigger the error)
+
+286: "recursive known functions"
+  Self-call recognition conflicts with known function
+  recognition. Currently cross compiler and target COMPILE do not
+  recognize recursion, and in target compiler it can be disabled. We
+  can always disable it for known functions with RECURSIVE attribute,
+  but there remains a possibility of a function with a
+  (tail)-recursive simplification pass and transforms/VOPs for base
+  cases.
+
+287: PPC/Linux miscompilation or corruption in first GC
+  When the runtime is compiled with -O3 on certain PPC/Linux machines, a
+  segmentation fault is reported at the point of first triggered GC,
+  during the compilation of DEFSTRUCT WRAPPER.  As a temporary workaround,
+  the runtime is no longer compiled with -O3 on PPC/Linux, but it is likely
+  that this merely obscures, not solves, the underlying problem; as and when
+  underlying problems are fixed, it would be worth trying again to provoke
+  this problem.
